7 Simple Habits to Improve Your Self Discipline
1. Have a Positive Mindset Toward Discipline
Life is a game of mindset. You can’t follow a thing which you don’t admire. Understand the importance of Discipline. Learn how discipline can change your life positively.
Read articles about discipline, and watch podcasts to know how self-discipline can bring productivity to your life.
Once you realize the magic self-discipline can bring into your life, you will be more willing to bring discipline into your life.
2. Have your days planned
This is what discipline is about – having a schedule. You must know at the beginning of the day what you have to accomplish on that day. Prepare your to-do list at night before sleeping or in the morning having your tea or coffee.
Tick mark the tasks you go on completing. Accomplishing every task will give you satisfaction and make you feel proud of yourself.
3. Have Long-Term Plans
You can’t plan your day until you don’t have your week planned and you can’t plan your week until you have your month planned. We all have further visions for our life.
Look at those visions as missions. Break the mission into plans. Have a plan for a year, for every month of a year, for every week of a month, and every day of a week.
Having your purpose planned will give you contentment and make it easy for you to be disciplined.
4. Have Goals for Multiple Aspects of Life
Discipline is not a one-day game that you can spend focusing on a single task. Have goals for your wealth as well as a healthy lifestyle. Work for every aspect of life- income, creativity, body, health, and mental peace.
Working only for a single aspect of life for a longer period will make you feel overwhelmed. On the other hand, if you focus on creativity and health with income and learning, life will be more disciplined as well as interesting, and worth living.
5. Have Cheat Days
You are working for freedom by losing freedom. Does that make sense to you? People tend to think about discipline as a restricted life but it gives you the freedom to live life in your way.
Don’t go hard on yourself. Have cheat days between a disciplined week. It is alright to have days when you prefer Netflix over podcasts, consume junk instead of salad, wake up late or skip your workout.
These little breaks will help you to regain your energy and maintain discipline.
6. Have a habit of Continuation
We have this habit of wasting the whole day if mornings don’t go well. If we can’t accomplish a task, we start feeling unmotivated and procrastinate on other tasks. For example – If we could not wake up on time and perform our workout,
We feel guilty and procrastinate on all the other tasks to start fresh the next day. This is the main reason for the failure of discipline. Forgive yourself for a failure to perform a task and spend the rest of the day as per schedule.
You will anyway feel productive at the end of the day.
7. Take Actions
Life is too short to delay actions. Don’t waste any more time living an undisciplined and unproductive life. You have all the ways to maintain discipline. Make a schedule today and start following it.
Final Words
START your disciplined life by considering these 7 ways and you are going to maintain discipline forever.
